Kesha (center in white) cries as she learns she will not be released from her record label contract in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday, February 19, 2016. A judge said she would not allow Kesha to leave her record label.

According to the 2014 filing obtained by TMZ, Kesha claimed that Gottwald made sexual advances toward her, plied her with drugs and alcohol and repeatedly sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused her for 10 years. Kesha later amended her complaint to include Sony, claiming that Gottwald's "proclivity for abusive conduct was open and obvious [to Sony] executives, who either knew of the conduct and turned a blind eye, failed to investigate Dr. Luke's conduct, failed to take any corrective action or actively concealed Dr. Luke's abuse." The amended complaint further claimed that Sony placed Kesha and other female artists in "physical danger."

On Friday, a judge denied her injunction to record outside of Sony, ruling that she can still work with another producer for the label. The decision came after the judge shot down her lawyer's claims that Sony was "setting her up to fail" and won't promote her music should she work with someone aside from Gottwald.

Geragos called Sony’s offer to work with other producers a “small step,” though they wanted “complete separation from Luke. So we're going to move forward and we're going to get her that. She doesn't have to be victimized repeatedly by this guy."

Chrstine Lepera, Gottwald's attorney, released a statement to The Huffington Post.

We are pleased with the Court's decision from the bench fully denying Ms. Sebert’s motion for a preliminary injunction. As the Court recognized, Ms. Sebert has always had the ability to proceed with her career if she so chooses. We remain confident that when all the facts are presented that Ms. Sebert’s allegations against Luke will be shown to be completely false and were asserted solely to extort money and gain contractual leverage.

Despite the ruling on Friday, the singer had a small victory earlier this month when a judge dismissed Gottwald's suit against Kesha, her manager Jack Rovner and her mother Pebe Sebert.

Kesha's fans started a petition called "Free Kesha," which urged people to sign and send a message to "tell Sony not to force her to work with her alleged abuser." So far, the petition has more than 118,000 signatures.
